Smart Combining Plastic Bottles

Customer Container Handling Challenge 

Our customer’s’ production line required a combining process to run at the most optimal level, with downstream equipment (e.g., filler) running faster than upstream equipment (e.g., unscrambler). To offset these speed differentials, the line had two unscramblers to keep the filler operating efficiently. The challenge was: if one of the unscramblers goes down, how does the line continue to run?

Morrison Solution 

Morrison developed a dynamic system that enabled the customer to smartly combine plastic bottles, keeping downstream processes running smoothly despite upstream issues. The system automatically adjusted to line conditions, maintained continuous discharge, and synchronized infeed, optimizing overall production uptime.

Construction 

The timing screw drive unit was constructed with Black Anodized Aluminum.

Results

The Dynamic Smart Combining System ensured continuous operation of downstream equipment, even when upstream issues occurred, leading to increased overall production uptime. Automatic adjustments to line conditions allowed for efficient product flow, minimizing downtime and maximizing output. The robust construction and adaptive design of the system provided a reliable solution to the customer’s challenge, ensuring consistent performance.
